Yes, they're probably programmed to speed slightly. I'm not sure I'd consider this on the same scope of multiples of pollutants being put out over the understood levels though.

But I drive a VW and speed, so I'm probably not the person that should be responding to your concerns.
Lawyers already argue drivers can be accountable for manslaughter when excessive speed is a factor in an accident. Thus manufacturers should be held just as accountable when the law breaking is willfully pre-programmed by the factory. The argument is clear... The posted speed is there for a reason. Who provided [said manufacturer] with the authority to ignore this law?
